There is a subject/verb agreement problem in this sign that I found at the Arkansas State Fair. In the sentence that begins "During the hot and humid days," the subject is compund. The verb "brings" would agree with a singular subject, but this sentence should have "bring" because there are two subjects.

Thanks to my brother for this one. (He, too, is an English major.) According to this sign, Fried Pie owns something near this sign. Is it his house to which the sign refers? Is it his car? Ahhhh, I bet someone just did not know how to properly use an apostrophe, and this person only means to say that he has some fried pies to sell.
